Ode To Rod & Kahlil
You two brought the joy:
A prophet and chansonnier
traveling along our
*Stanyan Street with books of
love in my hands.
Delightfully moving me
to write, and so I thank you.
Thank you for Sloopy and Apartment 4-E,
and Eating and Giving and Marriage
and Children and Pain.
Oh, thank you for the Pain.
May I always
*"Listen to the Warm" with
*"A Tear and A Smile".
